Docvalues benefits is the reason we recommend them by default (and non-text fields now do have docvalues by default). They do have some drawbacks however: - Require reindexing - Take up more index space - Slower than FieldCache
So although the majority will be better served by docvalues, I don't think there should be a rush to remove the option of using the FieldCache. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
